The evacuation center at Cesar E. Chavez Park was emptied early in the morning when two city buses carted about 60 people boated in from Avalon to the gymnasium at Cabrillo High School in Long Beach. The Red Cross offered them pizza and chips and cots and blankets. During the next few hours, about 20 more people trickled in from the ferries.
